Limerick GAA star Tom Morrissey and Galway Camogie player Niamh Mallon are teaming up with Nestlé Health Science’s global-leading brand Solgar and putting their GAA skills and fitness to the test at WellFest, Europe’s largest outdoor health, fitness and wellness festival taking place in IMMA at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, May 10- 11.
Morrissey, a five-time All-Ireland winner with Limerick and Mallon, a multi-talented sportswoman who has represented her native county of Down, and now plies her trade with Galway, will take time out from their hectic playing and training schedules to tog out with Team Solgar as part of the two-day event.
Attendees at this year’s WellFest have a wonderful opportunity to meet and greet both GAA stars; learn about what fuels their training and playing performance and test out some GAA skills. Also joining Tom and Niamh are iconic GAA legends, the Liam MacCarthy and Sam Maguire Cups. Both are making a guest appearance with a specially designed 360-degree Croke Park themed photo booth providing the perfect backdrop for a memorable photo moment.
Completing Team Solgar is performance nutritionist and gymnastics coach Nicole Shaw who will be on-hand throughout the two days providing festival goers with nutritional advice, guidance and top tips on how to get the best out of your day and enjoy life’s golden moments.
